Introductory
IN the manufacture of the machines ilkistrated and
described in the following pages we have given long
study to the demands of cotton spinners.
The result is a higher standard of Picker Room equip-
ment than has been produced heretofore.
We would invite attention to the principles, improve-
ments, and conveniences of operation which are provided
in each of the various machines here included.
Combined with these points of efficiency are the high-
class workmanship and material which have entered into
the construction of all our products for forty years.
Thus we are enabled to offer to the manufacturer an
equipment that w411 meet his most exacting demands and
produce clean, even, and uniform laps — the first require-
ment of successful subsequent processes.

Hopper Bale Opener
THIS machine was designed esj^ecially to overcome the
expense of hand opening and mixing, and at the same time
to secure a more thorough opening and more even mixing
than was possible under the older method.
When the cotton is mixed by hand the stock is still in large
bunches and matted to such an extent that when fed into the
hoppers of ordinary openers, it is impossible to secure an even
or thorough mixing.
The fluffy condition of the cotton as it is delivered from the
Hopper Bale Opener shows the thorough manner in which the
stock has been opened.
The feeding apron of the Hopper Bale Opener extends well
back from the machine, ordinarily about four feet, which makes
possible the grouping of a number of bales around the machine.
In the operation of the machine, stock is taken from first one
bale and then another and placed on the horizontal apron.
Thus a very even mix is obtained from the various bales.
If desired this idea can still further be carried out by extending
the apron farther back.
The slow-moving horizontal apron carries the cotton forward,
after which it is taken by the more rapidly moving spiked
elevating apron, which subjects the cotton to a sort of combing
action. At the top of this apron, is a spiked cylinder which
further combs the cotton and throws back into the hopper
any unopened pieces.
A stripping beater with stiff leather blades strips the cotton
from the spiked a})ron and delivers it into a box, from which it
is taken by the distributing systems.

Bale Opener and Stock Mixer
THE purpose of this machine is to open the raw cotton and
mix with it the card sliver, drawing shver, etc. This has
to be re-run by all mills and is usually termed "waste."
Card and drawing sliver, and comber lap waste can be put
directly into the waste hopper, and will be thoroughly torn up
by the action of the spiked apron and comb.
Spinners "stick waste" should be run through a thread ex-
tractor first, and roving "waste" should be run through a
roving waste machine before putting into hopper.
The Waste Hopper MAY also be used to mix in a lower grade
or shorter staple bale, which from choice or necessity it may
be desirable to distribute amongst a number of bales.
We can arrange this waste hopper in connection with our
Double Hopper Feeder so that colored cottons could be mixed
with raw stock more evenly than by weighing separately and
mixing on the floor.

Cotton Conveying Systems
THE installation of a hopper bale opener makes the use of
a distributing lattice eminently satisfactory. When the
opener is some distance from the lattice, a suction fan and
condenser system should be used, but when the distance is
very short an elevating lattice may be used, dropping the cot-
ton directly onto the distributing lattice.
Our blowing systems, condensers, fans, cleaning trunking,
and our distributing lattices are heavily built, and capable of
easily doing the work for which they are designed.

Style 19
Trunking Opener with Double Hopper Feeder
(See drawing on page 15)
THIS machine will handle cotton either direct from the bale
or from mixing bins, as preferred. The operation is as
follows :
The cotton is thrown onto the rear apron at A and is carried
inside of the machine and rolled up in the form of a ball as
shown in outline. A very heavy spiked apron B acts on this
cotton intermittently and carries the cotton over into the hopper
V, maintaining a constant supj^ly of cotton to be acted on by
the spiked apron D, this spiked apron being of the usual weight
of slat and pin.
The intermittent action of the apron B is accomplished by
the following means: Letter Y shows a feeler plate pressing
against the back of the cotton in hopper T" and hinged on a shaft
at X. The end of the feeler at }' will work back and forth from
Z to Z, it being constantly held up against the cotton by means
of a weight lever on the outside of the machine acting through
shaft X. This weight by means of levers connected to a belt
shipper starts the apron B when the cotton in chamber V
gets slightly below its normal supply and allows point of Y to
approach Z. As soon as the apron B delivers cotton enough
into chamber T^, the feeler Y is pressed back toward the point
Z, and this pushes the belt onto the loose pulley and apron B
stops until the cotton in chamber V allows the feeler to s^ing
again over toward the point Z, when the operation is again
repeated; this action taking place constantly without any
attention.
By maintaining in the chamber V a constant quantity of
cotton, the spiked apron D acts under uniform conditions, and
therefore delivers a regular quantity of cotton. The apron D
is stripped by the pin beater H and the cotton is carried up to
14 COTTON PICKER ROOM MACHINERY
the cages L and M by the suction from the fan. The flat grid
bars K betv/een the pin beater and cages are made of sheet steel.
There are about forty (40) of them, these taking the place of the
flat cast-iron leaf bars with which all are familiar. Between the
cages and the first beater, we have increased the distance over
the usual construction in order to give a larger seed dropping
chamber W under the beater, and in order to carry the cotton
from the stripping rolls .V and to the feed rolls R and S, we
have added a pair of carrier rolls, P and Q. This machine
delivers an even, regular sheet of cotton to the feed rolls of the
first beater R and 8, thereby giving the beater a constant and
an even sheet to operate on, and owing to the evenness of the
sheet, the cotton is held firmly between the feed rolls without
thin places to be drawn through without beating.
The suction fan connected wnth the cages L and M obtains its
air supply from the opening over the feed apron A, and thus
circulates through the hop])ers, coming in close contact with the
tumbling cotton and has a very beneficial action on same, and
adds greatly to the efficiency of the cleaning and beating process
which follows, and also prevents dust and fly from escaping into
the room.
The cotton, when it arrives at the feed rolls R and 8, is
thoroughly loosened up and bloomed, ready for the action of
beating without danger of injuring the staple.

Style 10 Machine
THIS is a combination of our Style 9 Breaker and No. 19
Opener with our patented sliding door cleaning trunk
arranged all on one floor in a straight line to give the greatest
amount of cleaning capacity possible for the given space.
This machine easily handles 4,000 pounds of cotton per day.
The cleaning trunk dirt chambers are exhausted by the same
fan that is used to draw the cotton through the trunking, this
being provided for by a damper which cuts the draught off from
the cages and connects it to the dirt chambers during the clean-
ing operation.
The cotton from the Opener Beater passes through the lower
line of trunking first and is returned through the next line and
so on until it reaches the condenser cage at the end of the top
line. The cotton is taken from the cage by stripping rolls, and
a pin beater in front of the stripping rolls tears the cotton into
small pieces and it falls in an even manner onto the apron, which
delivers it to a pair of feed rolls in front of the last beater, from
which it is passed on to the cages and calender rolls in the usual
manner.

A One-Beater Breaker Lapper with Short Cage
Section for Trunking Work
THIS machine is adapted for use with conducting trunk for
conveying the cotton from an opener on a lower floor, or
vice versa.
It can, however, be used with short lengths of cleaning truck
and gives satisfactory results. The seed chambers are extra large
and also the air inlets under the stripping plates, which give
an ample volume of air for even distribution between the grid
bars without causing whirlpools and eddies among the droppings
to the detriment of the cleaning action of the grid bars.

A One- and Two-Beater Breaker with Double
Hopper Feeder
THIS is a machine that for efficiency, production, and ease
of operation cannot be equalled, the Feeder being the same
as described in connection with the Style 19 Opener. This
is followed by one and two 18-inch diameter beaters, the second
one being rigid and the first one being either of the rigid or
Buckley cylinder type, as preferred.
All dropping chambers are of extra large size, giving an abun-
dance of seed room, and at the same time, ample size air inlets
to give even distribution of the air necessary to be taken in
through the grid bars for carrying the cotton into the cages
and also for preventing good cotton being thrown out through
the grid bars.
The capacity of this machine is from 4,000 to 6,000 pounds
of cotton per day.

WOOXSOCKET MATHINE & PRESS CO. 27
Style 11
Single Beater Finisher
rilHIS machine is made by the same tools and processes and
A with the same care and precision that enters into our machine
tool work. The beater and fan shaft are ground, all studs are
case hardened and ground. High-speed gearing is ail cut, and
fast-running pinions are made of steel, cut and case hardened.
All medium and high-speed bearings are ring oiling, the beater
and fan bearings having been designed to overcome the trouble
of oil leakage, which every carder knows has caused him serious
annoyance by getting inside of the machine and onto the cotton,
to say nothing of the cost of the oil. These bearings are oil-
tight and neither allow oil to be drawn inside of machine or to
leak outside.
The evener mechanism is so constructed that friction has
almost been eliminated, and as a result, the slightest change in
thickness of laps is at once recorded by the evener belt. This,
of course, ensures an evenness of finished lap heretofore con-
sidered impossible.
Combined with the countershaft shipper handle is a locking
device for the beater bonnet. This device locks the bonnet on
starting, or if the bonnet is open the shipper is locked so that
the machine cannot be started.
Improved forms of grid bars are used, the angle bars ha\dng
milled knife edges, true and parallel to the edge of the beater
blade. The flat dust bars are made of sheet steel, and owing
to their thinness over double the usual number may be used
and still keep the same spacing. We are thus enabled to clean the
cotton better than has hitherto been possible.
Between the cage stripping rolls and the lap head we have
applied our patented Anti-Split rolls, which prevent split laps.
28 COTTON PICKER ROOM MACHINERY
There are two of these rolls; the lower one is composed of a series
of steel discs on a shaft, which run in corresponding grooves in
the upper roll; the cotton passing between them is corrugated
lengthwise with small ribs which are j)ressed down by the cal-
ender rolls into reenforced strips which bind the sheet together.
The brake motion for tlie la]) rocks is adjusted by set screws
for any desired friction, and cl.ange in same may be very quickly
accomplished.
Everything about the machine is substantial, and in all its
refinements none has been attained })y a sacrifice of strength
or ample wearing surface. We guarantee this picker to do
better cleaning and evening with less cost for ])ower, oil, and
repair than any other machine on ilic market. The quality
of the workmanslii]) throughout is well illustrated by the fact
that when running either idle or o])erating on cotton one can
hardly tell from the sense of licaring that gears have any place
in its construction, and the general ai)])earance of the machine
is such as to commend it to all who like nice lines and high finish
in the machinerv of their mills.

Roving and Hard Waste Machine
THIS machine is made in from one to five sections in lengths
according to the work to be performed. It was originally
designed to open roving waste and was built in one and two
sections. A large demand has made it necessary to add sections
up to five in number to handle thread, cop waste, knitting
clippings, etc. The cylinder pins are made finer as the ma-
terial is delivered from cylinder to cylinder, delivering the
stock thoroughly opened and cleaned. Production is governed
by the grade of product desired and will average 2,000 lbs. per
day of roving waste and 1,000 to 1,400 pounds of hard waste.

Floor Plans
ON the following pages are shown out-
line drawings and elevations of the
various styles and combinations of Feeders,
Openers, Pickers, Dust Trunking, etc. Our
experience has shown that every picker
room equipment must be laid out individ-
ually as the location, size of building, kind
of stock handled, and convenience of han-
dling require a different set of machines or
layout. ^Ye therefore have competent en-
gineers to suggest and furnish proper picker
room machinery layouts to meet the vary-
ing conditions which ma}^ exist. This ser-
vice is at your disposal.
